The tech meltdown has just begun…hold on tight
People have asked me what do I make of the crypto downfall…Sequoia Capital marks down its crypto investment down to zero dollars it’s all part of life…what goes up, must come down.
Crypto heads have been emailing me non-stop…we’ve all on the akashic platform, people.

Is there such thing as a sigma male ? WTF is a sigma male ?
Sigma males are supposed to be these introverted types who “refuse to fit into any hierarchical categorization.”
Non-sense.
Hierarchy is not something you determine, or chose to be included or excluded from. So this “sigma” males are “lone wolves”. That’s just being an introvert, thank you. What they’re trying to say -I hope I got this right- is that sigmas don’t have followers, as opposed to alphas who have a lot of followers and lead them. It is assumed, by default, alpha males lead a lot of people…but that requires charisma and mass influence, doesn’t it ? Some people have it, some people don’t. Picking up a sub-category of alphas-those without followers- and naming it “sigmas” is disingenuous.
An alpha male is just that -whether he is leading anyone or not. Are you lacking followers, aren’t recognized by society or your community, and want to call yourself “sigma” ?
You’re either an alpha(2% or less of males) or a beta (98%). This whole thing “sigma” males is ridiculous. Why do you care about recognition, anyways ? Why do you need an audience to your greatness ? Whether a man has witnesses to his being is immaterial. When you are competing with another males – and we all compete one way or another- and you get noticed or not makes no difference.
Sigmas are the introverts who have no standing or human assets to show off, but still wanna be called “alphas”.
Until next time,

- If you are/were at a large or mid-sized organization (middle range businesses are those that have 250-500 employees) start looking at small sized businesses and startups.
2. Participate in conferences, developers forums, seminars and strategy forums. The more involved you are in your profession and the more you know about verticals the better. Speak to and meet your peers and avantgarde leaders.
3. Whatever your last employer, your best chances are to get hired by a competitor. This doesn’t change regardless of your industry and profession.
4. If you haven’t bought the Book of the Underdog yet, buy it. It is the best, life changing book on personal and professional development of the last decade. Now, 3 years later and into a new decade, the book still holds as the gold standard.
5. Pivot if you have to. Read the 15 Invalubale Laws of Growth by John C. Maxwell and The Big Pivot: Radically Practical Strategies for a Hotter, Scarcer, and More Open World by Andrew S. Winston.
Relationships
All amorous relationships in your life need to be dynamic. We have numerous posts here on relationships from the male perspective: do a search for 2019 and 2020 and you’ll be floored with relationship advice. We don’t follow the mainstream advice on “working in relationships” because once a relationship needs “work” (other than minor corrections) I believe the relationship should be curtailed. Things to bear in mind:
-People naturally grow apart.
-Monogamy is a myth and all the happy couples that I know have or have had, multiple lovers.
-All relationships end in breakups, hopefully the breakup is gracious and well-choreographed, eg. you have a prenup and a postnup.
-The way you got into that relationship the same way you will split up.
-I don’t recommend marriage for men. If you get married you need to clearly spell out your economic arrangement with the woman. No ambiguity. (The honeymoon phase usually ends in 6 months).
-If you’ve made the mistake of getting married and have kids, you need to obtain 50/50 custody. That is for the kids since they need both a father and a mother in their lives.

Many won’t be that lucky.

Losers and groupthink people eat a lot of sugary treats during the holidays. They get fat. We don’t. I used to add recipes to my posts but haven’t done it in awhile. That is today I dedicate an entire post to some good recipes. We are looking for very low-carb, paleo and in most cases keto-friendly recipes. Ready ? The hunt is on.
NO-BAKE GLUTEN FREE, PALEO & KETO KEY LIME PIE
Gnom-gnom is a website that has a good paleo & keto key lime pie.
Just look at the crust:
